About this Event

Bio from LinkedIn:

DeAnne Cuellar is a tech equity advocate and communications strategist from San Antonio, Texas. She served as Mayor Ron Nirenberg's digital inclusion appointee to the City of San Antonio's Innovation & Technology Committee, resulting in several policy and funding priorities to close the digital divide. As a social impact entrepreneur, she's co-founded several cross-sector nonprofit initiatives in South Texas, advocating for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion for historically underrepresented communities.
She’s worked with groups to spearhead media monitoring research, media literacy initiatives and advocated at the local, state, and national level for systems that provide accurate media representation of local communities, technology-inspired skills programs, and affordable high-speed internet access. With 15+ years of project management and political consulting experience, she interacts with great care and respect when working with elected officials and their staff, media organizations, different companies, consultants, and collective impact initiatives. She blogs about music, media, and technology and is a freelance photographer published in the Huffington Post, Bustle, San Antonio Current, and the Express-News. The media spokespeople and digital content influencers she has developed who represent an array of socio-economic issues have been featured through national and online media affiliates such as Teen Vogue, HBO, Vice, CNN, and more.
DeAnne is a sought-after advocate focused on fostering equitable Internet access for all and specializes in using her media and advocacy experience to implement effective systems and communications to improve the quality and quantity of programs and projects representing Texas.
